mathcore is basically experimental metal/math rock mixed combined with metalcore- it has all the same screaming metalcore has, but with the odd time signatures and mixed prog elements that experimental metal/math rock has.

OP, i used to be just like you with this stuff. i eventually got into heavier things and heard these guys were good and id heard about them alot. i listened to calculating infinity and hated it. i forced myself to listen to it more and eventually sugar coated sour started to make some sense. it wasnt until i got Irony Is a Dead Scene that they actually clicked with me. then i got Miss Machine and i love everything they've made now. dont expect to immediately be able to digest their stuff. its like wine: an aquired taste, and once you get that taste its an amazing thing

EDIT: yeah, they arent metal. they arent even a genre IMO, they're a band that has found their own sound and own awesome niche in music. the best bands are the ones that cant be defined

Unretrofied and Black Bubblegum are awful songs from an incredible band. It's one thing to not like DEP, I understand that entirely. It's spastic and unfriendly to the ears, but you can't deny the talent. They're incredibly unique and amazing musicians. If you can't hear that, you're deaf.

Call me Dave!

I'm sure saxaxe has seen a moose once in his life, I mean with all his sexual adventures, one has probably slipped in.
